Hallock (trfnews.i234.me) — In one of the most bizarre police incidents to hit extreme Northwest Minnesota, 911 calls flooded in from Hallock on Wednesday about a man acting strangely—lying on Second Street Northeast and claiming to be “ice skating”… on dry pavement.
Authorities identified the man as Curtis Lee Kovach of Hallock. When approached by deputies, Kovach apologized and said he was lost and “a little stoned.” His probation agent ordered immediate drug testing—anything beyond marijuana would be a violation. At the jail, Kovach confessed to using Psilocybin Mushrooms but refused to comply with testing.
Things escalated when Kovach allegedly tried to grab a deputy’s taser. A struggle broke out, and the deputy had to strike him in the head three times before regaining control. Kovach is now facing nine charges, including disarming a peace officer, assault, and contempt of court.
